Top Untraditional Jewels: Talking Body

Rings that just sit on one finger are so passé. A plain, dainty anklet is old news. And what’s a stud earring without an accompanying cuff?! Okay, I’m kidding, but the point is: There’s a genuinely new shift in motion. Jewels have gone the way of the unconventional, and it’s reinvigorating the way I think about my precious metals and gems. So buck tradition, and pick up a statement-maker that will really turn heads (and shoulders and wrists…).
